Lipless Crankbait

thingiverse

I wont have time to print the model and assemble/test it for a while, especially since it's winter here, but all of the files are done and should be print ready. Will update when I get that far. The model has raised gills and eyes, and a hole to fill with paint to act as a gill spot (roughly the same location as it is on the real thing it's based off of), I decided to go with 2 designs, the "Standard" design - "O1" - that Sthone used with his crankbait model (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1729443), and the method that I see on production brands, where the hook anchor points are short and wrapped around material - "O2" - instead of threading a wire throughout the whole body of the lure. I know that Sthone's method works well and is strong, so the manufaturing method is an experiment and also allows for bigger chambers and more shot to be put inside of it. O2 has holes inside of the hook anchor points that are meant for 1.75mm filament to be put inside to help with lining the two halves up. Any tips would also be appreciate, let me know if there are any problems.
